The Indigo Necklace

The Indigo Necklace

Also published as â€œThe Indigo Necklace Murdersâ€

â€œAppealing background, pleasingly described; some family skeletons; bitter-sweet romance, and customarily deft Abbott sleuthing.â€â€”The Saturday Review

Lieutenant Pat Abbott and his lovable but slightly rattle-brained wife, Jean, have become about the most popular couple in murder fiction today. In The Indigo Necklace, Frances Crane takes them to New Orleans, where a huge wartime population has overflowed into the famous French quarter, steeped in tradition and old-world ceremony. When murder is done amidst these incongruous elements, it takes ingenious sleuthing indeed to unravel the crime!
Pat Abbott and his Jean are paying guests of a proud old Creole family, luxuriating in the charm of their surroundings, when Jean discovers a body at her very doorstep. Before the Lieutenant unmasks the murderer, the Abbotts meet a fascinating array of aristocrats and scoundrels, including a police chief, drawn from life, who will become a permanent member of the Abbott troupeâ€”if Mrs. Crane's publishers and audience have anything to say.

Included floor plans have been redrawn for improved legibility.

â€œThe plot of The Indigo Necklace is good, and the writing is considerably above the average.â€â€”The Montreal Gazette

â€œOne of the yearâ€™s best.â€â€”The Boston Globe
